Ingress Protection (IP) Testing, CDG has the capability to perform IP (Ingress Protection, also referred to as Intrusion Protection) testing per numerous standards, including IEC 60529. This testing is designed as a means to verify that your products internal components are adequately sealed and protected from the intrusion of foreign objects, liquids, and fine particles. This testing is also designed to ensure that the product user is protected from access to hazardous parts. The different levels of the IP Test allow you to determine, at different rates of flow (liters per minute), if your unit will hold up to the amount of water being sprayed at it, and to ensure the unit is safe from intrusion of foreign objects (such as fingers, etc.). Quest can perform several IP Tests, such as, IP Standard Codes,IPX1, Protected against falling water Equivalent to 3 to 5mmrainfall per minute for a duration of 10 minutes.IPX2, Protected against falling water when tilted up to 15 degrees, Same as IPX1 but unit is tested in4 fixed positions, tilted 15 degrees in each direction from normal operatingposition.IPX3, Protected against spraying water, Water spraying up to 60degrees from vertical at 10 liters per min at a pressure of 80 to 100kNm2 for 5min.IPX4, Protected against splashing water, Same as IPX3 but water is sprayed at all angles.IPX5, Protected against water jets, Water projected at all angles through a 6.3mm nozzle flow rate of 12.5 liters per min at a pressure of 30kNm2 for 3 minutes from a distance of 3 meters.IPX6, Protected against heavy seas Water projected at all angles through a 12.5mm nozzle at a flow rate of 100 liters per min at a 100kNm2 pressure for 3 minutes from a distance of 3 meters.IPX7, Protected against water immersion Immersion for30 minutes at a depth of 1 meter. IPX8, Protected against water submersion Equipment suitable for continual submersion in water under conditions as specified by manufacturer.IP1X, Protected against solid foreign objects of50 mm diameter and greater.IP2X, Protected against solid foreign objects of 12.5 mm diameter and greater.IP3X, Protected against solid foreign objects of 2.5 mm diameter and greater. IP4X, Protected against solid foreign objects of 1.0 mm diameter and greater.IP5X, Dust protected Ingress of dust is not totally prevented, but dust shall not penetrate in a quantity to interfere with satisfactory operation of the apparatus or to impair safety.IP6X, Dust tight No ingress of dust. Ingress Protection (IP) Testing. Ingress protection testing is performed to check for a products ability to resist the infiltration of water, dust, and other foreign solids to ensure functionality, safety, and product compliance. It is part of waterproof ness testing. Obtaining the appropriate IP rating for products is essential in various industries, from consumer electronics, automobiles, avionics to wires and cables. IP rating varies over a range of degrees of protection from liquids or solids or both depending on the industrial standard, the product tested, and marketing requirements.
